On the merchant return the salesman with a
smile of triumph all over his countenance,
rushed up to him and boosted of what he had

Ireland's Union With England.

In the last number of the Nineteenth
Century, Mr. Gladstone prints what IS NOM
inally a review of a recently published
History of the Irish Union, but which is
really an essay on that subject. written
from his own standpoint A mere outline
Of this review is telegraphed, but enough Is
told to show that it will prove very inter
estiug reading to those who are interested
in English and Irish politics, as are most
Americans After confessing that his own
knowledge of the experience of unhappy
Ireland, at the time when the union was
brought about, is only enough to make him
aware that it Is imperfect, he states
that all records of the Irish
government for more than thirty years
before that event are still kept secret, and
that there has been something like ''syste
matte extinction" of documents by persons
concerned in the dark history Of that time.
He contends that the methods taken to
promote the union stopped the tendency
toward the growth of religious harmony,
replaced the Protestant clique in power,
arrested the good dispositions of the Irish
Parliament and reversed the balance OF
strength of parties by transferring British
and Castle influence to the union side. In
order to sustain this policy religious passions
were let loose, Orangeism was founded to
infame those passions and the party of
United lrishmen was driven into disaffection
and taught to depend upon foreign aid.
Through the continuance of this system a
reign of terror was established ard por-
ton of the people, previously distinguished
for loyalty was driven into rebellion under
circumstances which warrant the belief that
such rebellion was foStered by the govern
ment in order to promote a system of
ferocious repression. After the rebellion
was repressed a system of intimidation was
actively upheld by robbery, devastation,
rape, torture and murder, which We're prac-
ticed continually, the government shielding
the perpetrators.
This is as dark a picture as has been
drawn by any of the Irish agitatoIs, and
shows that the great Liberal leader is
thoroughly enlisted in the Irish cause. If it
is justified by the acts of the English gov
eminent which all the world could see. what
stories of villainy must be concealed by the
records so jealousy guarded through more
Ihdu TWO geneidJtons IL WouIu D9Neu III
they could be brought TO light. 1t is al
ready known that the union was brought
about against the wishes of the Irish people
by the most profuse bribery. The act was
never acquiesced in by the people, and has
only been made effective by superior force.
The people of England are beginning to
see that a contented Ireland, even though
mi-independent, would be more valuable
friend and safer neigdbor than is the
Ireland of to-day bound to the union, but poor
and unhappy. If these records should make
palmer the methods by which the union
was brought about, the indignation and
shame aroused among English people might
hasten the undoing of the wrong then
wrought.

Exposition. The thousands Of Georgians

he may lead off faction from the party
which represents their ideas in national gov

that he is among friends whose only solici

Henry George says the people who own
lands hold the rest of the community as
slaves. To judge from his appearance,
the average landowner in this part of the
country doesn't find the holding of slaves "a
very profitable business His hands are
hard and knotty his clothes too often old,
and his general appearance that of man
who works too hard and too long. Why
does he not make his slaves work for him
Mr.. George is absurd.

1t seems that though the millionaire Hunt

could yet swear to things which were not

which carry the conviction with them that

mild term.

The extraordinary pearl known as the
Southern Cross PEARL is a freak of ma
ture which has not yet been explained. The
pearl was found at Roeburn, Western Aus
tralia, and consisted of nine pearls adhering
together in the form of Latin cross, seven
in the shaft, and two i'll the arms, one on
each side of the shaft, nearly opposite the
second pearl from the top. The pearls are
slightly compressed. like peas in pod and
no trace of an artificial junction can be OBJ
served. 1t has been suggested that frag-
ment of seaweed may have got into the
shell and formed the frame of the construc-
ton. The pearls are of fine quality, though
slightly misshapen at parts, and the value
of the gem is very high. Its character is
unique, and filled the owner-an Irishman
named Kelly-with superstitious awe,
which led him to secrete it for some
time

The Sunfiower Chorus.
From st. Nicholas.

There was church festival in Hensonvale
and this is the way in which Miss Be le Abbott
introduced new feature into the weh-worn list
of such entertainments. A placard was promi-
nently displayed at the festival reading: "Some-
thing New Don't Fail to See It." Il were
kept in mystery until the appointed time, when
the manager, stepping before the curtain. spoke
of the statue of Memnon in Egypt, which was
accustomed to greet the rising sun with song
More obliging than Nemnon,' he said, certain
stately American sunfiowers have been found
ready and willing to sing whenever called upon.
Ladies and gentlemen he added, II have been
fortunate enough to secure for our festival
cluster of these remarkable additions to our
native fora and have the honor of present
ing to you our Sunfiower Chorus The
slowly drawn curtain revealed upon
dark background thirteen large, yellow sun
flowers, with leaves and stalks complete, and
in the centre OF each human face. Music
came from the piano near the stage, and to its
accompaniment the cluster of human sunfowers
sang numerous selections from familiar operas,
popular songs and melodies and college glees
The Sunfower Chorus was voted great sue
cess, and those not in the secret begged Miss
Abbott to tell them how it was done And this
was her explanation: One foot behind the stage
curtain hang another curtain of dark brown
cambria, ten feet square: attach this by rings
to a wire stretched nine feet from the floor; tie
cords to the first and last rings, aud drawing the
curtain tightly, faSten these rings TO the wall on
each side. The top being now secured, let the
curtain hang naturally; wrap the surplus cloth
about n strip of wood twelve feet long;
Two ncneS Wlde ana one iDch thick,
fasten this to the floor by two large screws
and the flower screen will be tightly stretched.
Group the singers in picturesque cluster be-
hind the screen, with their faces pressed against
the cloth, and at distances from the floor vary
ing from one to eight feet; mark the position of
each face, and cut, in the screen, a hole into
which the face will closely fit. Going to
the front Of the screen, arrange the flowers and
leaves which should be fully prepared before
hand. The rays Of the sunfiowers may be cut
from yellow paper. and the leaves and stalks
from green paper. Paste the rays around the
openings, then arrange the stalks and leaves in
proper position. When the paste is dry, re-
move the strip of wood from the bottom of the
screen, unfasten one of the cords at the top
and slide it back until needed for use, when 1t
may be easily put into position. In summer the
